As Gray As Black & White

By Faith Knight

In 1967 Alabama, a family secret shatters Mark Lawson's world. Blonde-haired and blue-eyed, 14-year-old Mark discovers he is black, a revelation that changes everything.

Kicked out of his segregated school and threatened on his baseball team, Mark must navigate a society where prejudice and race define your fate. Amidst this turmoil, he forms an unexpected friendship with Eddie, his black teammate, who shares his perspectives on integration, equality, and identity.

As Mark grapples with his new reality, he faces a crucial choice: embrace his newfound identity or strive to bridge the racial divide. His journey offers a poignant story of self-discovery, courage, and the enduring quest for equality in a divided world.
